A summary of the Guardian Q&A session, 'Life After a PhD' for which I was a panelist, is now available over on the Guardian Higher Education Network.

Of particular interest, in my view, is Tennie Videler's reference to ASHPIT; certainly a lead I am hoping to follow up. Keep your eyes peeled for their third policy day.
I'm also quite amused that my aside on Wittgenstein made it into the summary; a not-so-subtle condemnation of publish-or-perish, even if the point has been made before and, in fact, I really enjoy writing in order to be read.
Anyway, head over and have a read.
